John Krasinski Would Still Love To Play Mr. Fantastic in Marvel's Upcoming FANTASTIC FOUR Movie
One of the big movies that Marvel Studios is currently developing is Fantastic Four. Now that they finally have the rights to the property back, fans can’t wait to see what they do with it because we know that Marvel is actually going to make sure we get a great adaptation!
There’s been a lot of talk and speculation among fans regarding John Krasinski and how he would be a perfect fit for Reed Richards a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic. We don’t know if the actor is being considered for the role or not, but if he is, Krasinski would love to do it!
In a recent interview with Total Film, Krasinski talked about potentially taking on the role, saying:
"You’re like, 'Do you have any interest in not shattering people’s dreams?’ I would love to be in the Marvel universe. I love those movies because they’re fun, but I also think they’re really well done. And certainly a lot of my friends are in those movies. I have no idea what [Marvel] are thinking. But if they are considering me for Mr. Fantastic, continue to consider me because I would love it."
When asked if he would consider directing a Marvel movie, the actor/director said, "Oh man, directing one of those things? I don't think I'm your guy. But if I was to act in one? I'd have so much fun."
I think he’s selling himself short. I think he would be a solid choice to direct a Marvel film. As for him playing Mr. Fantastic, he would be perfect for the role and it seems like a lot of fans would love to see him take it on. As many of you know, he almost landed the role of Captain America before Chris Evans landed the role, so I imagine that Marvel is still keen with working with him on something,
